HELLO OTTAWA |
Our dear readers received their Monday ottawan about 15 hours early yesterday. We’re sorry, we think. On perfect days, we write much of the next day’s ottawan the night before, then wake up the next morning, take a quick gander at the world for anything new, and send it out. Few days are perfect, however. Yesterday, or rather Sunday night, we hit SEND rather than SAVE. In four years, we’ve never done that before and we were a little curious about what would happen and what to do. Will everyone miss us in their inboxes because it scrolled out of view? Should we resend in the morning with a note? A crisis council of Martha, Darren, and the cats was called. In the end, by mid-morning the regular number of people had opened their ottawan so the cats vetoed bothering readers with an unnecessary email. If you’re wondering, we aim to send out the ottawan around 10:00 am-ish or around 2:00 pm-ish as that hits the sweet spot of hitting people’s inboxes after everyone else’s morning newsletter and just about when readers think ‘coffee time’. So, sorry not sorry. But we’ll try not to send out the newsletter the night before again. – Martha and Darren |

BUT, ONE MORE THING ... |
Dave Allston in the Kitchissippi Times has published a remembrance of ‘When railways ran through Hintonburg and Mechanicsville’. Reading it, we see that OC Transpo missed a good historic naming opportunity as the Bayview O Train station is built on top of the old Canadian Pacific Ottawa West station. |
